glass clear or tinted..
« on: March 16, 2016 - 03:12:27 PM »
wondering what glass, clear or tinted... was on most 71 340 cuda coupe?
Is there any one thing that would always be with this or without, like other options?

for example: if a 71 340 cuda with 727 had a gull wing and billboards, rallye gauges etc. would this mean it
had tinted glass as well, (part of a certain package)
or was there no rhythm or reason or what determined this.

if not, what was the most common for this model?
also car is yellow, thinking a green tint may look somewhat odd.

thanks

The only package that would include tinted glass is air conditioning that I know of.

I second the motion.  I don't think the green tint is obvious from the outside.  We have the a tinted windshield on a yellow car, but if you're trying to redo the car per the fender tag, get a clear one.

Tinted glass was standard on all Cudas with A/C. If you didn't want it, you actually had to delete the option. I know I had an A/C Cuda with "clear glass w/AC" G21.

As for every other 71 Cuda, every colour could be had with tinted glass as an option. In fact 31% of all 71 Cudas were ordered with tinted glass.

well alright...
(I was hoping anlauto would chime in)
great info, so since car has no a/c and
only 31 % of 71's where ordered with
tinted glass, I think I'll go clear.

thanks all
